    I'm having problems with bing when I click on a page that I searched for it just goes to another search engine or a porno site or something totally weird, it does it with all the websites that came up in my search. It isn't doing this with google though making me think it is just bing.
    I also ran norton and still doing it

    It sounds like you might have a virus on your computer if your searches are being redirected.
    A similar thing happened to me some two to three months ago, cept it was on any search engine, and they happened at random.

    Yeah, don't use bing for anything right now. Thy are having a very bad problem with viruses and redirects.

    Someone more tech savvy should really help you fix your pc asap so you don't get any data stolen or have anything compromised. This is a serious issue.

    Leave Chandler Bing alone, it was bad enough that he had to marry Courtney Cox.

    Sounds like malware. The program that usually does this is three separate programs that can all restore the others. Makes it really hard to get rid of. I think ComboFix is supposed to be able to take care of it, though. That said, the times I've had to deal with it (once on my computer, once on somebody else's) it's been a much simpler program to remove.

    On my computer, it was a rootkit, that dedicated rootkit detectors couldn't find. The only thing that was able to find and fix the problem was MBAM.

    The most recent I dealt with, turned out to be something disguising itself as a Google sidebar. The registry entry showed up in Hijack This!, which was the only thing was able to find it. Easily fixed, through the same program.

    As for the usefulness of Bing; try finding a video that isn't on Youtube, with Google. Bing video search, FTMFW

    Maybe I'm outa the loop here, but since when has Bing even been relevant, and why are people talking about it so much now? Do they have a porn app or something?
